The art of Dan Christ is an expression of his love for the outdoors – the natural world. It is a love resulting from a lifelong pursuit of exploring nature. Raised on a Berks County dairy farm at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dan was a hunter, bird watcher, and nature photographer since a teenager. He was educated in Forestry at Penn State University. Dan also had a natural artistic talent for which he received recognition in high school and college, but which lay dormant while he pursued his forestry career.....However, budget cuts eliminated his position with the United States Forest Service and while unemployed and searching for the meaning of life, he discovered God. Though raised in a church-going family, Dan had never committed his life to God until he became an adult. He recognized that God’s Son Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for his sins. By repenting of his sins and believing and trusting in Jesus as his Savior, he began a personal relationship with God, received the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and a guaranteed residence in heaven. This new relationship changed Dan’s life, and one result was a rebirth of his artistic talent now expressing the beauty of creation through a heavenly vision. Even though indoctrinated into evolutionary theory throughout his educational pursuits, there were always doubts about it because of its impossibility. There was a lack of any factual evidence and a twisting of facts with the elimination of all data that didn’t fit. Consequently, when educated in the creation theory all the facts fit together and made sense. Understanding and believing in God’s creating everything to uniquely fit together in perfect harmony gave Dan this heavenly vision for the beauty of the natural world.
